みにくい。2. Description of the Related Art An automobile cigarette lighter socket can be connected by inserting a car plug for connecting lighting, a car stereo, and other electric devices. The energization method of the socket is common to all vehicle types in the world, but generally, the diameter of the socket of the European car is large, and the standard of the socket diameter of the Japanese car and the American car is slightly smaller than this. For this reason, when a car plug of a car model for Japan and the United States is inserted into a socket of a European car, it is easy to pull it out, and vice versa, it is difficult to insert it.

少量生産には適さなかった。For this reason, conventionally, the diameter of the plug main body is changed for each destination or the plug main body is made common to adjust the spring follow of the contact. In the latter case, for Japanese and American cars, the contact protrusion amount is kept small while assembling. For European cars, the contact protrusion amount is increased by adding a coil spring, for example. However, it was not suitable for low-volume production of a wide variety of products due to the need to change parts for each destination and the need for additional parts.
